    Buff Orpington chicks

    Hello everyone! I just got six chicks that were supposed to be sexed females. They are for a school project. Two of them are buff orpingtons, each in two separate groups. The groups are split three and three, one for organic chick feed and the other for name brand feed. I have two observations...

    Please help

    I came out to let my chickens out and saw this around my Silkies vent. Any idea what it is and how to get it off? My only guess is an egg that had no she'll when it came out.

    Dying rooster?

    Hello everyone. I have a RIR rooster who will be one year old tomorrow. He's been acting very odd for the past month or so. It started when his crow became more hoarse and raspy but also getting shorter by the day until he stopped about two weeks ago. Right around when he stopped crowing he had...

    Unknown sickness possibly spreading through flock

    So I brought a welsummer pullet home along with two others, a barred rock and silver laced Wyandotte. A day or so after I brought them home I noticed my welsummer had stuff coming out of her nostrils. It appeared as if she was trying to breathe through her mouth as well. I brought home the new...

    Black Australorp Rooster

    He's a very nice rooster. Almost fully grown, he's been in great health and never had any medical issues. The pictures show his feathers have been pulled out and comb has scabs all over it. That is from my dominant RIR rooster. My BA rooster is very nice and deserves his own hens where he can...

    Incubating mixed breeds

    Hello everyone! So this is a big project that will be coming up in roughly a month and half or so. In one of my classes in high school we are doing a final project that can be anything in any field of science within reason. Last semester someone in the same class did something with ducklings. So...

    Something coming out of my chickens vent....

    Hello everyone! I just went outside to let my chickens out and I noticed something hanging from one hens vent. It's quite long, about 4-6 inches. The bottom is dark I think because it has been touching the dirt and mud. However, the part closest to her vent is a color between a creamy yellow and...

    Hawk attack and roosters

    A hawk attacked and killed one of my hens this morning in their run. My RIR rooster was walking around the run with five other hens as the hawk was eating my poor hen. My BA rooster was in the coop with my Silkie hens, seeming as if he was protecting them. What am I to make of my RIR rooster...

    Wet feathers and a really cold night

    Hello everyone! Where I live recently we've gotten two straight days of rain. While the temperatures at night haven't been bad, they're going to drop off quickly in the next week from mid 40's* to the low 20's*. In the not to far off future, the Weather Channel is predicting snow or rain during...

    BCM Coop plans

    Bloody egg

    I've had eggs with a little bit of poop on them, sometimes a lot covering the whole side. When I went out tonight to collect eggs about 4 or 5 of them had blood mixed in in. Most of them were Silkie eggs however this one is from my RIR's or BA's. This was one of the worst looking. Can someone...

    Black Australorp Rooster

    He is 32 weeks old. He is an extremely friendly rooster and will always walk up to us when we're sitting in the yard with all the other chickens. I need to get rid of him because he is being attacked by my older RIR rooster. He also deserves his own girls as I know he would be an excellent flock...

    The Buckingham Flock

    I've been dwelling on this thread for awhile now, mostly because I didn't want to start it and then have a drastic change in the members of my flock. I want this thread to be a place for people to share their own mixed flocks as well as any cross breeders to come have fun. I will also be posting...

    Open gash on Silkie hen

    I noticed tonight that one of my Silkie hens has a large gash on her side. As it goes under her left wing the skin begins to peel off to the point where it is a flap of skin around 1/8" inch thick at the base of the tear. I have already cleaned her sound with hydrogen peroxide and put neosporin...
